- Place a large wok on a high heat and add 1-2tbsp of oil then, when smoking, add your ginger and garlic and fry for a few seconds. Before it starts to turn brown, add your chicken and stir.

Sesame oil has a low smoke point so it’s essential that you add it towards the end of your cooking as a seasoning, otherwise it will burn.
